And social media platforms ding you for linking out.

What to do?

Unfortunately, I was also impacted by Shopify’s layoffs.

Truth is, I am and will be fine. Shopify’s severance package is very generous.

If you’re hiring, keep an eye out for my talented colleagues!

I’ll take the summer off and then decide what’s next in fall. ✌️

It still boggles my mind that one can learn keyword research and SEO, then start a blog for less than $100... And publish their way to millions.

It's tiring... It's difficult... It takes a ton of time and energy...

It's possible! And I'm living proof it works.

First: What would your advice be for avoiding a feature frenzy (the obsession to highlight every single dongle the product team churns out), where the focus can get sidetracked from the big idea of the product?
